DELHOCUATIC rCO.TlI ATIOS. FOR GOVERNOR, JOSEPH A. WRIGHT, OF PARKE COUNTY. FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, JAMES H. LANE, OE DEARBORN COUNTY. FOR CONGRESS, SECOND DISTRICT f CYRUS L. DUNHAM, OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. O We have heard of three or four deaths from cholera sinea Saturday, and any quantity of rumors of deaths are afloat, though we have been unable to trace them out. fj-Lime ehould be freely used during the warm weather, by throwing it in the gutteis in front of houses and btores, and put in vaults, cellars, alleys, and all byplaces. It is excellent to purify such place, and may prevent much fickness. An appropriation was made at the last meeting of our City Council for the purchase of lime, which was to have been distributed throughout the city. We would reepectfully inquire, what haa become of that appropriation! We have seen tmall quantiliei of lime sprinkled in some of the alleys and yards, but not sufficient, in our opinion, to have any salutary effect; while many part of the city, much in need of such sanatory measures, have been entirely neglected. lias the object of the appropriation been carried out! We would call :Le attention of the City Fathers to tins subject. Our citizens have delegated to Council the power to take such measures, and make such appropriations, as may be confidered most conducive to the health of the city; and an awful responsibility rests upon them, if they neglect to perform this duty, and thereby endanger the health of hundreds of our citizens. (SrOur exchange papers report many deaths recently from drinking cold water. People should be careful in drinking iced water during the warm weather. UTTlie Democratic State Convention of Mississippi have nominated Gen. John A. Quitman for Governor. ETAt a mee'.ing of the Jackson Democratic Association of Washington City, held on the 21st ult., resolutions' were passed expressive of the grief of the Association for the death of James K. Polk, late President of the United States. The following resolution was also passtd: lietylttd. That, as a tribute of respect to the memory of the il ustrious dead, a funeral oration be delivered by the Hon. Henry S. Foote, of the United States' Senate, on Monday the 9th day of July; that the President of the Uuied Slates, the Mayor and Corporation of Warhiogton City, and the citizens of the District of Columbia, be iuTited to join the ceremonies. Curious. The Cincinnati Nonpareil says that some persons who had faith in the science of clairvoyance, some time ago conEulted a clairvoyant in regard to the cholera. His revelations were to the etTtct that the epidemic would be at its height about the last of June, would subside during the month of July, and rage again m August. Thus far, his prediction seems to be well verified. As to those yet to be tested, the curious mav "make a note" of this. China. The U. S. Gazette has files of the China Mail to March 30. According to an arrangement wi'h Sir John Davis, the city of Canton was to be thrown open to foreigners, and by treaties with the United States, England, and France, the fraternity of Hong Merchants was in fact abolished, limitations m trade having been swept away. This fraternity, seeing the result of opening the city to foreigners, held meetings, and formed a kind of Chinamen's Protective Union, resolving to buy goods from no foreigner, nd to "cut dead" every trader who did so. STThe City Council of St. Louis have passed an ordinance forbidding, under a penalty of from 20 to 100, the sale of any vegetables, fruits, fresh pork, sausage meat, and ash, in any of the markets of the city, cr at any other place within the city limits, during the prevalence of cholera in that city. fvrTha Mayor of Cincinnati haa designated to-morrow (July 3d) as a day of general lsjsiiag and prayer.

Tee Gold Doixabs. These pleasant little brilliant have already go: a laureate. An Eastern paper celebrates thsir beauty in verees, of which the following are the concluding lines: "Broken banks no more shall tend A chill to every tradesman' heart; Ragged bills shall hare an end, For thou art monarch of the mart." jxHon. George M. Dallas is to deliver a Eulogy on the late ex-President Polk, before the democracy of Philadelphia. War of Annexation battli first. The Inpsndent, a weekly paper, published at Quebec, contains the following warlike sentiment: On Friday last, at the ordinary session of the city council, one cf the members proposed a motion of the nature of which we are ignorant, but which another member objected to, remark ing at the same time that in three months we would be Americans. Hereupon, the member who had brought forward the motion, crossed the hall and administered a tremenduous blow to his opponent, which prostrated him on the floor. The warepirit then communicated to others, and the combat threatened to become general, when the mayor called In the police, who put an end to the quarrel and ejected the audience.

3 The Cholera is as fatal in portions of the country sear St. Louis as in the city itself. The following is from the St. Louis Organ of Monday: Cholera in the Country- Oa Saturday we reported the death, by cholera, of six persons in Stringtown; all, we since learn, occurred in one house. Many more, we understand, have fallen victims in the same vicinity. Our informant estimates the number as high as thirty. In the coal mines on Gravois, amongst the miners, the mortality is said to be frightful. There is not enough of the well and living to bury the d ad. In many houses there are five or six cases, and, owing to the habits of the miners, few who take it recover. We understand that the county Court has been called upon to make provision bury the dead. Daring and Heavt Robbery. On Sunday between 12 and I o'clock, a most daring and extensive robbery was perpetrated in the very heart of Philadelphia. The North American says: "The watch and jewelry store of Hildeburn &, Watson, in Market street, between Second and Third streets, was entered from the roof by breaking through the sky-light and its fastenings, and robbed of over two hundred watches, one hundred gold chains, and other valuable goods, supposed to be worth about twenty thousand dollars. This daring act was consummated during the temporary absence of the watchman. The thief or thieves left a bag made of green baize, filled with valuable articles, in the yard, which, for some reason they did not, or could notcarry away conveniently." It is remarked in this connection by the News, that Jim Webb is now in that city with a couple of noted English burglars recently arrived. Interesting News from Santa Rosa In the Victoria iTexas) Advocate, of the 1st, we find the following news from Santa Rosa, brought by Mr. S. W. Norman in a letter from Mr. W. Whitehead, a California emigrant, dated at Santa Rosa, Mexico, May 3, 1849. Mr. W., afterspeaking of their passage from San Fernando, and the health of the company, makes the following remarks: "The Mexicans here are now working a very rich silver mine. Yesterday they smelted 3,000 pounds of the ore, which yielded $1000 in pure silver. The authorities at this place told us that very rich goid mines had been found on the river Gila, and that a number of poor Mexicans who had gone there, and also to California, had returned independently rich. The authorities at San Fernaudo paid us a great compliment. They came to our camp, six miles from town, and remained with us all night. In thus leaving their posts they incurred somedangerof havinga heavy fine imposed upon them for leaving without permission from the Governor. They have been kind to us, and treated us more like brothers than strangers. Sensible Prescription. We have the following excellent cholera preventative from Doctor Good Common Sense a physician who has but a limited practice at present, but whose patients are invariably healthy. Try it: Tinct. Conscience, Agreeability, and Contentment, 3 scruples Essence of Soap and Rub-hard, 3 lbs. Spirits of Courage, 3 drams Oil of Happymint, ... 40 drops Tinct. of Laughter, 12 oi. Spirits of Gaiety, ... 3 galls. Shake them all well together, and take a little of the mixture every hour in the day, and you can bid defiance to the cholera. Nonpareil. The Keniccxy Infant. There Is a youth named Andrew H. Brand, living on Green River, near Rumsey, in Davis county, Ky , who is thus ! described: j He is a "perfect monster" in size, and is justly entitled to the appellation of the "Kentucky In fant, being only fifteen years old, 5 feet 3 inches high, and measures 6 feet in circumference around the waist, 3 feet 6 inches around the thigh, 2 fet 6 inches around the calf of the leg, 2 feet 2 inches around the arm, and weighs five hundred pounds. He is a yout'i of excellent commoa sense, acd vea iprightliaeis.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEADIER HESEMm.

St. John' (N. B.), June 23. The steamship Hibernia arrived at Halifax yesterday afternoon, with ninety-two passenger. She will arrive New York early on Saturday morning. From Liverpool papers of the 16th I take the following summary of AN INSURRECTION IN PARIS. On Wednesday an incipient insurrection waa attempted in Paris by about 25,000 of the Mountain party, headed by Metrienna Arago, jr., and was put down by the troops, who numbered 60,000 Several attempts were made to erect barricades, but each attempt failed. In the evening the Assembly declared Paris in a state of siege. On Thursday the alarm consequent upon the scenes enacted on Wednesday, considerably subsided, and business, which was entirely suspended, was once more resumed. At one time, the peril was imminent. Numerous arrests have taken place, including several members of the Assembly. M. Arago and Ledru Rollia are among themThe latest accounts report the city in a state of tranquility. All the Socialist or Red Republican journals at Paris, except the National, have been suppressed. A very alarming demonstration on the part of the Red Republicans, took place on the 13th, and for a time a revival of the terrible scenes of last June appeared probable. The affair commenced in a demonstration got up by the Red Republicans as a protest. The city of Rheiuis is reported to be in full insurrection, and to tiBve established the government of the Red Republicans. HUNGARY. Kossuth has arrived at Pesth, and was received in the capital as President of the Hungarian Republic. It would seem that hostilities are still carried on in the South, between the Hungarians and the scattered remains cf the Austrian army, supported by the Russians; but the reports which reach us are so vague and contradictory, that it haa not been advisable to transmit them by Telegraph. The Russian General has issued a proclamation to the Hungarians, the pith of which is, if they do not lay down their arms, and submit to their fate with a good grace, they will be made to feel the consequences of their presumption. Every effort is being made to rouse the people. The Maygar government has ordered the clergymen to preach against the Russians. GERMANY. In Baden a revolutionary struggle is in fnll play. The Prince of Prussia has left Berlin to take the command of the army of the Rhine. In Baden, Wurtemburg, and Bavaria, the democrats are preparing for a conflict. IMPORTANT FROM ITALY ROME ATTACKED BY THE FRENCH. From Rome we learn that the French army commenced an attack on the Holy City on the 30th ult., and after a sanguinary engagement, in which the I'ombn-? lost 800 men, they succeeded in entering several important points. A series of attacks have taken place, of which victory is variously stated; but the invading army have suffered most. The French papers publish conflicting reports of the operations of the army, but from accounts received, it is ciear that Oudinot had not gained access to the city. The latest despatch from Gen. Oudinot is to the 6th inst., at which time he had opened trenches and regularly besieged the city. There is no appearance of yielding on the part of the Romans, but on the contrary everything goes to coufirm the belief that they would make the most determined resistance and fight to the last. MISCELLANEOUS. The United States arrived at Liverpool, in a crippled condition, the same day the Hibernia sailed. The Cholera is raging frightfully in Paris. Since the commencement 11,000 have died. 900 cases and 600 deaths were reported in one day. The bill for the abrogation of the Navigation Laws has passed the House of Lords and received the Royal sanction. It goes into effect on the 1st of January. The British Government repudiates the proceedings of France in their treatment of the Romans. Smith O'Brien's counsel deny the legality of the commutation of the sentence of death to transportation. The crops throughout England and Ireland are very promising. THE MARKETS. Liverpool. June 16. Owing to the stirring events on the Continent, to which the past week has given birth, business was semewhat restricted, though not to the extent which would have been apprehended. The markets for Corn and Breadstuff's maintain more than an average firmness, although the transactions in extent will not bear comparison with those of the preceding week. Quotations have been well supported. The accounts from Manchester report no change of any moment. Viewing the recent rise in Cotton as untenable upon a full market, trade wears a healthy aspect. The National securities have been firm through-

j cat th week and the funds have eninta.in&d an

upward tendency, closing firmly. Last night Consuls were 92tC22?4 for special transfer, and 91S9l4 for account, wsthont dividend. United States 5s 93; 6'sl03, ex. dividend; New York 5' 95; Penn'a 5's SOtSSl. The Corn market has been steady throughout the week with only a moderate amount of business passing. Flour has slightly advanced. Yesterday the best Western canal brought 22,323s Ohio, 24.-2243 6d; Baltimore, 23S24s; Philadelphia, 23.1223 6d. Wheat advanced in one day 2d per bush United States ranges from 6s to 7s Id. Indian Corn is down Is 6d per quar. Prices range from 33 to 36s. Corn meal is dull at 15s 6d,316a per bbl. The Cotton market has been quiet but steady. Fair Uplands have been -juoted at 4c; fair Mobile 4c and fair New Orleans at 4JgC Beef has sold in the retail way, to a fair extent, but without any advance in prices. Western prime mess Pork is active at previous prices, but all other qualities are dull. Bacon has been firm with extensive sales. Hams have been in fair demand at irregular prices. Cheese, Lard and Butter are inactive.

THE LATEST NEWS FROM FRANCE AND ITALY. New York, June 30th, P. M. By Electric Telegraph to London, and thence to Liverpool, we have news from Paris and Rome from twelve to fourteen uours later than that re ceived through the Liverpool and London papers, which is highly important, and as the affairs of Rome were approaching a crisis, the intelligence by the next steamer will be anxiously looked for. A report prevailed at Paris, on Tuesday evening, that Gen. Oudinott had succeeded in entering liome, in consequence of the population rising against the triumverate. The French Government, however, had received no such information officially, but negotiations for that purpose had been received, with the probability of a successful termination. The news from the city of Rome is very vague and uncertain. According to the statements of wounded men who have returned to Toulon, the eige was proceeding warmly. The heat was intense, and it was feared that the number of sick would in consequence be greatly increased. The news of an insurrection in Paris caused great excitement in the departments, and disturbances were apprehended at Lyoi s, Marsailles, and Havre. The Government were prepared for such an emergency, relying on the faithful attachment of the troops. In Paris, the Legion of Artillery of the National Guard has been discharged, and partially disarmed, and its Colonel, M. Guiscard, arrested. Ledru Rollin was arrested on his way to Lyons. The assemoly had concurred in the proposal to close the clubs for one year, as a matter of urgent necessity. Paris was tranquil at latest dates. A despatch from London, dated half past one o'clock, in the afternoon, says: "The Daily News has advices from Rome to the evening of the 6lh inst., as follows:- 'An attack has been resumed on the same points as yesterday, and cannon again thundered behind Fort San Pancrazio. The Palazza Spada, Palazza Madonna, and Church Santa Sdbina, on the Aventine, already show the effect of the evening's shells. The damage will no doubt be frightful before the destructive labor is over. Tremenduous thunder and lightning, just now, adds the warring elements to that of man, and the scene is awfully grand. The Juaiter Transtivere, which was bombarded on the 5th, has been almost destroyed. Gen. Oudinott had summoned the Romans to surrender on the 6th, or that an assault would be made that evening on the city." The journals are void of any further statement as to the defeat and retreat of the French. We have it at length settled what the size of argels is. Powers, the sculptor, was commissioned to prepare some decorations for a Cincinnati Church in which figured an angel. Bishop Purcell directed it made of the natural size. Powers, in reply, requested something more definite, alleging that "A? had never teen an angel." The Bishop referred to Revelations xxi. 17th, for his measurements. This was conclusive, and was the guage as to sizt and proportions of the object sent. The statue prepared by Powers is six feet high, just about the size of the best looking men. Phila. Ledger. The editor of the Haverhill Gazette is of the opinion that if "any young man is planning to spread his attention among ladies in gener.il, without assuming the expense of a family, he is a nuisance to society, who ought to be despised by the men and shunned by the ladies." The Patriot Bem. General Bern, who commands the Hungarian armies, says the Boston Times, is a Pols by birth. He served under Napeleon in the famous Russian campaign, and also in the army of Poland that fought so bravely iu 1831 for their country's independence. His military talents are proved by his success in Hungary, and all accounts concur in repretentiag him as a man of the highest honor. He is assisted by two of his countrymen, Generals Chrzauowski and Dembinski, who also fought in the war of 1831. These Polish officers are regular thorns in the side of despotism. The world owes them an immense debt. Pitta. Post. Fortune in a miser's possession is like a banquet furnished for the dead netting is wanting but a guest to snjoy it

Within the twenty-four hours ending arnootr yesterday, the number of cholera interments wur ninety-nine; other diseases, twenty-three. There were very heavy rains here yesterday morning. The atmosphere, since then, has beet-' pure and invigorating. There was a break in the Miami Canal on' hundred yards long and two feet below the surface, yesterday, eight miles from the city. It will take two weeks to repair it. CINCINNATI MARKETS. Cincinnati, July 21, r! m. Flour. There is a demand for Flour, which is held at $4 per bbl. Whisky is held at at an advance; but, owing to a break in the Miami Canal, there have been no sales of anything. The Cost or Dignity. The Philadelphia Bulletin, in the Obituary notice of the deceased Ex-President, makes this impressive comment: "The death of Mr. Polk was probably owing, in a remote degree, to his assiduous toils as President. Determining to execute, as far as possible, the duties of the office personally, he devoted his days, and almost his nights, to labor, and the consequence was that his constitotion, originally good, became seriously impaired. He went into the office looking hale for his age; he left it prematurely aged. The broken-down old man, with thin white hair hanging from his brow, who resigned the Presidential chair to Gen. Taylor, in 1849r could scarcely be recognised as the firm and erect man of middle age, with hair but slightly tinctured with silver, who. in 1845, assumed the Executive chair. The disease of which he died, a wasting diarrhoea, is the frequent result of excessive anxieties and labors. Had he never been President he might have lived to a green old age; but, worn down by the responsibility of his exalted station, he has fallen prematurely, another example of the price at which power and glory are purchased. No Time to Swap. A man who was crossing' a river, and was thrown out of a boat togethsr with a small pony and a large black horse, caught hold of the pony's tail, and it was with a great deal of difficulty the pony could swim ashore, with such an appendage. A man on the bank t-houted, "Catch hold of the tail cf the large black horse." "By the L d! there is no time to swap horses," replied the man in the water." "T The Spike Society, in Boston, will discuss the question, "What is the difference between a bridge of sighs and the size of a bridge?" Also, "Which young ladies are the best those who mince their manners, or those who make mince pies?" O Louis Napoleon's salary amounts to near $20,000 a month. Mankind are very odd creatures. One half censure what they practice, and the other half practice what they censure. The rest always say and do as they ought. Kings and bears often worry their keepers. He's a fool that makes a doctor his heirHunger never saw bad bread. N. B. India rubber pies are said to go farther than any other kind in use. NOTICE. Branch or thf. State Bank of Ivihna.
